Foraging for wild mushrooms with a whicker basketSome people enter a forest with their eyes up, admiring the blue sky and the way the sunlight dapples through the trees, taking in the trees, rock formations, and streams. Mushroom foragers are different. They wander off trails to places where mushrooms are likely to grow. The keep their eyes down, scanning the forest floor. Or they study tree trunks looking for mushrooms growing there. When you forage for mushrooms, it takes you into the great outdoors, but in a new way. Foraging takes you off the usual trails. Sure you may find mushrooms growing along the places that people usually walk, but often the best mushrooms sites are hidden away. https://www.incrediblemushrooms.com/wild-mushroom-foraging.html
